I think these are Great Crested Grebe but I don't claim to be an expert and if anyone wants to disagree I'm prepared to stand corrected. They do a strange courtship ritual in which the male fetches some weed from underwater and offers it to the female. I'm going to do some checking and if it's that time of year I might try going back to get some shots. The light was horrible here - white skies and the light was bouncing off the water towards me, causing strange murky glare, but if it gets nicer then maybe I'll get some better ones.
